someone in twitter said something about demo on demo

you can tell I barely change the hand pose

[anonomi]

I do not get the dodginess around same class ships.. like have you ever seen your enemy counterpart on the other team? You ever look at another sniper through your scope? See him mirror your flinch and scramble to get out of the sightline? You ever try fighting another spy? Wordlessly, silently agree with him to keep the guns off and stick to knives while you try to backstab each other? You ever see an engineer? Think to yourself, damn that's one bullshit spot but I've been there, I know what makes it fall apart. You ever see the enemy medic hiding behind his teammates and you know exactly what he is going through, what's running through his mind? You see the enemy soldier and you want to tear him to shreds, see which of you is the better soldier? You ever fight another scout? There's nothing like it.

Like, there is no relationship or rivalry that elicits the same experience like same class. There's level of recognition and physical reflection, that's just as intimate as it is maddening. All these people and explosions and crazy shit, and your double always stands out and in the flicker of a second you know what it's like.

Doesn't even have to be counterparts, it can be teammates. Have you ever helped an engineer upgrade his buildings? Walk out of spawn and see your level 3 is still up and running by his hands? You ever top off your main medic to keep him safe as he waits for the right moment to pop his uber, zeroing on him through all the chaos? You ever stand next to another demo and stickybomb a nest with him? You ever fight over kills with the other sniper? You stand by the other soldier while he blows his trumpet and the two of you fight for your lives deep in enemy lines?

There's nothing else like it!! Idk but I go crazy for this shit. Idc if they are clones or suspiciously similar looking people. I. Go. Crazy.

Woah what the fuck... au accurate Cherry...

I never know if i should even talk about this au or not

Translations of the text says:

Picture above (drawn by a beloved friend): "Y'all stupid!" (But like in a funny way)

Picture to the left: Blu Scout is crying. Text on top of Cherry says "He doesn't remember anything lol xD"

Picture below that one: Cherry before having the accident is shown talking to Blu Scout, he says "suck it!" But not in a angry way; Blu Scout is annoyed

Picture to the right: Blu Scout is shown clearly not having a good moment, the text above him says "misses his boyfriend" with an arrow coming out of the 'boyfriend' to point at a tiny Cherry

Picture bottom right: Blu Scout is venting to Dash (Blu pyro), the text above Dash says "doesn't care at all"

It's bitching hour I see, don't mind if I join! A lot of the TF2 fandom (mostly just Tumblr/Twitter parts of it) seem to be huge pussies about shipping. There has been talk about straight Pauling ships already and this falls under it too. TF2 fans on here seem to just fear being slightly unconventional with ships, no age gap more than 5 years or so, only the three most popular ships or else eat dirt, no straight Pauling ships, what do you mean bi people exist? It's stupid. You like a ship that isn't fucking red Octoberfest? Starve! Nobody will write or draw anything for this pair for months! Like a ship that's slightly controversial within the fandom like basically any pairing with an age gap, classcest, M/F Pauling ship, anything with pyro in it (also dear god this fandom treats pyro like an uwu baby that doesn't know sex when the guys a full grown pyromaniac with a job! He's mentally ill not a fucking child!! Sorry for side tangent) will get your head stuck on a pike ffs. I remember when I joined I really liked the popular/non problematic ships too but the attitudes of some people smh. TF2 side of Tumblr please get a bit more open minded with what you ship or just leave the people who ship unconventional shit alone. I know there's a line that 90% of the fandom won't cross and it's for a good reason imo (talking about incest ships here) but a relationship with an age gap of more than 10 years is not on the other side of that line, have fun and explore silly relationships with these fictional characters for once!! Let me have my toxic yaoi and toxic yuri in peace :(

Also I'm sorry about putting this long thing in your ask box, this escalated quickly

Agreed fully and also I'm gonna say something that's gonna rustle a lot of feathers–

People love SniperSpy. It's generally accepted that Spy is somewhere in his 50s to 60s, judging off Scout's age alone, and with SniperSpy he's sleeping with someone three years older than his own son.

And there is a absolutely nothing wrong with this when both parties are consenting adults. What I have an issue with is that I've seen a lot of people who ship SniperSpy then get on the arse of MedicScout shippers because Scout is "too young" for Medic.

My question is why? Why is it ok to ship Sniper, at 30, with Spy, a man at least 20 years older than him, but it's not alright to do the same with Scout, who's 27, and Medic, who's probably about 20 years older than him? Why is that? Why do you have an issue with one and not the other?

And it comes down to two things:

1. People think Scout looks too young. Which, I'm sorry, but at someone who's 5'2" and looks about 16-18 at all times (depending on whether or not I shave) despite being 23, fuck you. You do not get to decide if someone's physical appearance is "mature enough" when that person is a fucking adult. Get fucked.

2. Ableism. Scout is notoriously immature and often acts like a teenage. HE IS ALMOST THIRTY YEARS OLD. Maturity/behaviour ≠ age and the funny part is that these are the same people who tell you not to infantilise autistic people for perceived immaturity but then go on and infantilise A MAN WHO IS ALMOST THIRTY because he acts immature. Practise what you preach or get fucked.

People NEVER do this with Sniper and I'm not sure if it's because Sniper looks like he's 40 or because he acts like he's 40. But I'm inclined to think it's the latter, because people often do this with Pyro too as Pyro also often acts childlike.

So hey, if you do this, check yourself. Cuz you're probably being ableist. Ask yourself why exactly you think an almost thirty year old man can't have a romantic or sexual relationship with a man older than him when they're both mercenaries on a team of hired killers who kill people and break things FOR A LIVING. Are you normal about neurodivergent people? No, are you really?

Does anybody remember owlygems and their medics because they have plagued my mind for over three years with the strangely noodlesque interpretation of medic and classcest and it's driven me to levels of madness where i lose all sense of human urge and revert to animalistic tendencies.

Thank you pixel for finding them and putting me to rest.

[aprofessionalwithoutstandards]

thoughts on classcest? personally medimedic makes me foam at the mouth, love it.

Oh I've been known as like the In Love With Herself guy in my friend group for YEARS lmao and I continuously describe my relationship w my gf as a sniper4sniper relationship. I think it's very good! I think it's really fun with like the way tf2 as a game works with yknow multiple versions of the same character spread across two different teams. I think it just got a bad name bc of the tendency to use "-cest" as a suffix which I admit I'm not fond of. I've heard "selfslash" be used and I think that's more preferable, as well as just calling it Medimedic like you did or Sniper4sniper as I just did. I'm also not super into the thing where like making Femscout to be Scout's girlfriend but that's bc I hate straight people that's different

[ac-amy]

I don’t see much tf2 f/m classcest (not incest) content.

I’ve been thinking about wanting to write some of it.

[shitty-tf2-headcanons]

Not sure if you count it as incest or not, some do some don't but do you/will you do classcest? ie medicest, scoutcest the like

Oh god this reminds me of the “would you fuck your clone” argument

But yeah I’ll allow it! It’s never stated that they’re all siblings or related so it’s not incest to me. I just like to imagine that they’re all clones with varying personalities. Thank you for asking tho :3

[chateau-backstab]

i don’t get classcest as a shipping thing. i mean if you’re doing art of it cause you think it’s hot, have fun, but in a serious context you might as well write a fic about someone making out with a mirror.

if you say “oh they’re distinct people in personality and background”, then (at least) one of them is an oc, and you would say class/class oc, for example, or class oc/class oc, but not class/class.

I dont mind classcest too much though i dont really care for any of the ships. I view each team as like different people who look super similar freakstyle or are just clones and even then i dont have much of a problem with selfcest

I don't mind classcest either. Hate the name and think it's stupid but even if they are clones, they're so far removed from each other that they're basically different people at that point. It's not like twins who were raised together as children trying to date, there's no power imbalances. It's more equivalent to two people who look strangely similar to each other dating. 🤷‍♂️

[thedietelf]

wow-o I actually have a ship in something like weeeird but i love all of the Bush Medicine, Trucks n Vans and Helmet Party stuff ok. And pretty much all of the Classcest stuff.Like-woahh what is happening. Honestly the least exciting ships to me now are the obvious ones [Red Oktoberfest and Spyper] 

[mnyehlike]

I give them names, but I haven't written classcest, so yeah, give them names.

Quick question to the tf2 fic writers out there:

If you’re writing a fic between a Red and a Blu mercenary of the same class, do you give them individual names or can the names just be Red and Blu?
